Almost September!

More new projects are vying for our attention at www.houseofstitches.com/whatsnew.cfm.  In a fun coincidence, we have Part 8 in two different series-Little House Needleworks Farmhouse Christmas and Blackbird Designs For the Birds!  If you like Hardanger, be sure to see the four new designs from Satin Stitches. They are breathtaking!  Autumn Blessing from Waxing Moon has a wonderful border of leaves around the verse in the center.  It would be a great fall project!  Jardin Prive has cute Halloween design with a skeleton lounging on top of the word Halloween. In the center a white pumpkin replaces the letter O with bats, spiders, orange pumpkins and a crow rounding out the design.  I’ll let you look at all of the latest arrivals for yourself; words never do as well as a photo!

Judy Whitman from JBW Designs has informed us that her recently released chart, Williamsburg Christmas has some errors in the color key. We have stickers with the corrected color key that can be placed over the incorrect one. Or, you can find the corrections on her website jbwdesigns.com and the Friends of JBW Designs Facebook page. Judy sends her apologies for the error.

If you have been undecided about signing up for our October 5-7 Weekend of Stitches, now is the time!  We have a few spaces left and I have the pre-stitching kits on hand so you can get started stitching right away. It is going to be a great weekend!

This is a photo of a sweet little pincushion ttht was stitched by our friend Donna. It is called Down in the Valley by Blackbird Designs. She used a Sudberry House pincushion to finish it. Good job, Donna!

Thank you for your continued interest!  We have noticed a definite increase in people who want to learn to stitch or are returning to stitching after a hiatus.  Thank you for your part in letting others know about our shop!
